disco2000 Posted Thursday at 12:04 PM Share Posted Thursday at 12:04 PM Wonder if/how this will affect the KI Starbucks. Many people go in there and never purchase anything. https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/2025/01/14/starbucks-open-door-policy-changes/77689669007/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would agree since it is a franchise and is owned by the park I’m pretty sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoddaH1994 Posted Thursday at 04:12 PM Share Posted Thursday at 04:12 PM They close the seating area at like 7:00 or 8:00 for this reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orion-XL200 Posted Thursday at 04:33 PM Share Posted Thursday at 04:33 PM There are no restrooms in KI's Starbucks, so doubt it'll be much of a difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disco2000 Posted Thursday at 05:12 PM Author Share Posted Thursday at 05:12 PM This is an opportunity for FUN to let the Starbucks policy be the "bad person" and drive the sales of more product that are not available on any meal/drink plans.... It would require a change like staffing an employee at the front or moving the register and queue such that one cannot enter without purchasing, but who knows anymore....

If that policy is implemented at KI there won't be any seating available to sit and eat at G&G because the people who hang out at Starbucks will just move next door...

You might be able to share Don's office by the Royal Fountain on International Street: That's a million dollar office, better than any corner office or Starbux lounge.

DoomPlague Posted Thursday at 11:39 PM Share Posted Thursday at 11:39 PM A couple weeks ago I met my family inside the KI Starbucks after I grabbed food from LaRosa's. Part of me worried if someone was going to say anything but I was with my group and it was a cold, rainy day and there was plenty of space in there. Honestly, that Starbucks is a waste of indoor dining space in the park, even if G&G is next door. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just PLEASE, PLEASE don't get rid of the Skyline Chili!!! The one they removed was better, but at least we still have a Skyline. At least for now...

For the coffee lovers, the Drink Plan+ covers coffee, and it’s a Starbucks House Blend and French Vanilla. Both of which is pretty good! Made my Drink Plan+ worth it! So yeah, if they get rid of Starbucks, I’m still okay. …and I bet Skyline is here to stay! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
